Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my expansion valve needs replacement?
A: Signs include weak or no cold air from vents, ice buildup on AC lines, compressor cycling on and off rapidly, or hissing sounds from the AC unit. A failing TXV cannot properly meter refrigerant flow.
Q: Will this valve work with my RV's R-22 system?
A: Yes, this valve is specifically designed for R-22 refrigerant systems common in older and mid-range RV air conditioning units. Do not use with R-410A systems.
Q: Do I need professional installation?
A: Thermostatic expansion valve replacement requires AC system evacuation and recharging. We recommend having a certified RV technician perform the installation to ensure proper refrigerant handling and system performance.
